RPANTAHI Carbon Cranks

[kusanagiz]

Just seeing if anybody can provide updates if the Rpantahi is still going strong.  Compared to other brands like Elilee or Cybrei, it's significantly cheaper, so wondering if there's some compromise this brand is making compared to the others.  Also anybody pair this with a Magene powermeter spider?

My only issue is that my preload screw ring seems stuck. I'm not in a rush to remove it, but the grip surface is a bit hard to remove.

Otherwise how does it feel from stock cranks you've used in the past?  I'm primarily interested in getting shorter cranks to see if that can help with some knee issues I've been having.  My knee angle at the top is really tight at 63 degrees.

Magene use their own proprietary interface so I don't think it would work, will it?

I'm reading on the product page that it fits 110BCD & 4-bolt design and with a compatibility for 39mm spindle (so for DUB BB I'm assuming).

Durability-wise, no major issue. I would just pre-grease the preload screw and not screw it in too tightly for easy removal.

On the plus side spare parts are available on AliExpress:

Did you go to the specs from RPANTAHI?  Are you finding you need all those extra parts? Have you used other carbon cranks before for comparison?

That s the interface powermeter to chainring. Issue is between power meter and crank. Magene is proprietary and crank is Easton, no?

I have 4 carbon/24mm titanium axle cranksets to compare with. The RPANTAHI crankset works well enough. The HUDUD carbon crankset is the same thing, just different name. The spare parts fit fine. I did pick up a spare Easton lock ring just for backup. At least parts are easy to come by.

I use my RPANTAHI crankset on a climbing frame and it's been solid.

Had mine since release and no issues at all. The carbon spider wasn't true so I used a Stone 4 arm. Objectively it doesn't feel as stiff as my other 24mm titanium crank from Lexon, but then neither feel as stiff as Shimano.
